Deskripsi

The dogma is that limb muscle cells originate from somite, while connective tissue fibroblasts derive from lateral plate mesoderm. Here the authors identify a fibroblast population that undergoes myoblast conversion in response to BMP and contributes nuclei to myotubes at the myotendinous junction.
